Firebyrd Trio

Firebyrd Trio Narberth Rugby club Thursday 9th. September 7:30pm

 

The Firebyrd & Friends evening at Narberth Rugby club features three of the best players and nicest people in local music, they have played at recent Food Festivals and George Whitfield  who sings and plays accordion, has been entertaining  crowds at festivals and parades in Narberth for years. Alan Argent is now a marvellous saxophonist who is constantly developing and who’s playing currently reminds me of Stan Getz and Micheal Brecker. Jack Deer-Jones  is a very impressive young Bass player, equally at home on the big wooden one and electric basses.

They will invite some special guests to play on some  standard tunes as they progress through their set as opposed to an open jam session. They will add players to build to the end of the evening with a big line up of players. It will be a relaxed and casual blow with like minded musicians, all based locally. We are lucky to have many talented musicians here in Pembrokeshire and happily some of them want to be creative and entertaining in a jazz mode, and play for Narberth Jazz audiences.

Trio line up confirmed for Thursday 9th September.

Jack Deere-Jones (electric) bass

George Whitfield accordion & vocals

Hello and welcome to all our Jazz friends,
Our launch event at Lampeter House last month was blessed with a lovely sunshine
day so that Moonshine Boulevard and Afternoon in Paris were perfectly in tune with
the day. They were so glad to be playing for an appreciative audience and we were
able to meet up with friends to enjoy the music. We owe a huge thank you to all our
core group and helpers who worked so hard to make it happen, and to our hosts who
graciously helped us to be there. You can also see some pictures from the day on our
Facebook page. Continue reading

Hello Friends,

I have to tell you the bad news first. The Social Evening planned for 24th. June at the Plas Hotel has to be scaled down. Current Covid rules mean that we cannot gather inside, but the hotel has agreed that we can have a casual chat and drink outside on the terrace. They have also said that we can test the p.a. equipment which has been in storage for over a year. We had hoped to gather to chat and invite musicians to jam but do please come if the weather allows.
